Yes. To kill an application (because it has crashed or is otherwise unresponsive), select it's entry in the Trackbar (the dock-like bar which lists all running applications) while holding down Command-Option-Shift on the right side of the keyboard (or Control-Alt-Shift on a BeBox).

Can the BeOS' Tracker GUI be replaced?

Will the BeOS have drop shadows on windows?
